About this Item

First book in English on the then-rapidly growing study of semigroups, first so-named in 1904. An attempt at a systematic examination of these ideas, contrating on simple semigroups, inverse semigroups, unions of groups, semigroups with minimal canditions; the second half of volume two covers the theory of congruences and embedding of semigroups in groups. The reader is assumed to have some familiarity wiyh sets, mappings, groups, and lattices. Two hardcover volumes, as pictured. Volume one is the second printing, 1964, of a book first published three years earlier; volume two is a first printing, 1967. Light wear, corners bumped, spine gilt dull, ink name in each volume (B[ernard] Harris, University of Wisconsin mathematics & statistics professor). Text clean; xv, blank, 224; xv, blank, 350 pages; figures, equations, problems, bibliography & index in each volume. Size: Large Octavo.
